SYNOPSIS
A virile love story that explores the tensions between the modern world and an ancient way of life.
TREATMENT
Hymn for the Wounded Man is ‘virile love story’ meets ‘fish out of water’.
It’s set in New Zealand, against a backdrop of brilliant wilderness and a culture of hunting.
It’s about a man who was raised with a rifle in his hand and an Australian city girl, a vegetarian, who takes time out from her busy life to ‘chop wood, carry water’.
It’s a story about a rapidly passing way of life in our modern world.
It’s a story about hunting as a profound spiritual experience.
It’s a story about love and truth and death: choose one, you get all three, every time.
